About I cup chopped lettuce
Chopped lettuce (1 cup) is a fresh, versatile ingredient commonly found in salads, wraps, and a variety of dishes across global cuisines, particularly Western fare. Lettuce, a leafy green from the Lactuca sativa plant, offers a crisp texture and mild flavor, making it a perfect base for creating nutrient-packed meals. While types of lettuce vary, such as romaine, iceberg, or butterhead, all are low in calories, with a single cup containing around 5-10 calories. It is rich in water content, making it hydrating, and provides small amounts of fiber, vitamins A and K, and folate. Lettuce is naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free, though nutritional value may depend on preparation and added toppings or dressings. While generally healthy, iceberg lettuce contains fewer nutrients compared to darker greens like romaine or spinach. Including chopped lettuce in your meals can contribute to a balanced diet when paired with other wholesome ingredients.
